Sami Zayn Names Rey Mysterio As One Of His Remaining WWE 'Dream Matches'

Zayn wants a match with Rey

Sami Zayn has said the prospect of wrestling Rey Mysterio on Friday Night SmackDown is one of his last 'dream matches' in WWE.

Zayn returned to the blue brand last week, following a month off television, to face and defeat Mysterio's son Dominik in singles action.

Aside from a very brief outing on Raw a couple of years ago, Zayn and Mysterio are yet to have a match on WWE television. The Great Liberator knows what a legend Mysterio is and says facing the Master Of The 619 would be a dream for him.

Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Zayn said: "I know that ‘G.O.A.T.’ term is thrown quite loosely these days, but he truly is…for what he is, as far as a cruiserweight, he’s so much more than that. But if we want to pigeonhole him, and call him a cruiserweight, bar none the best of all time.

"We never really got to mix it up. You [Matt Camp] said we mixed it up on RAW about a year ago, but it was only like two minutes or something like that. Yeah, he caught me. He caught me quick. I think it was in a Gauntlet Match. My mind is a little hazy at the moment. But he caught me with a quick one.

"But we’ve never had a good 10,15,20-minutes to really sink our teeth into a proper battle. A 100 percent, being on the same show as Rey Mysterio, that is one of my dream matches. Probably the last dream match I really have that I’ve never done that I could do as a single [competitor] with Rey. So, I’d love to mix it up in there properly and really test where he’s at, at his point in his career, versus test where I’m at in my career because I think I’m actually at the top of my game right now if I’m being honest."
